if you drive drunk and get home safely, you’re guilty of the exact same crime as the person on the news who drove drunk and ran over that jogger or ran a dad and his toddler off the road. Don’t kid yourself or lie. You’ve just gotten lucky so far. Drunk drivers don’t plan, plot, or pre-meditate. The ones who’ve killed were no more murders that night on their way to the party than you are today, planning on what you’ll wear to the bar tonight.

All drunk drivers are potential murderers, but none of them mean to kill.

If you wouldn’t shoot a teenager while they drove past you on their way to their friend’s house, don’t drive drunk.

If you aren’t willing to carry the weight of someone else’s life, someone else’s death, don’t fucking drive drunk.
